Romans 14:17 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The day Eniola got baptized in the Holy Ghost, he lost his mobile phone on his way to church. This was added to the fact that he had just lost his job and didn’t have money to buy another phone. He came to church that night heavy and depressed. But as the servant of God laid hands on him, the Holy Ghost filled him and he started speaking in tongues uncontrollably. No one could stop him–it was an overflow.
The first thing he observed was that the heaviness in heart vanished. He was no more bothered about anything. The joy that filled his heart was like nothing he had ever experienced. All he now wanted was to spend time with the Lord and keep this new sweet presence of the Holy Ghost within him. He knew that with the Holy Ghost, all his problems were not an issue.
As weeks passed, he observed that one thing that lasted with him was the peace and joy of the Holy Ghost, and the desire to now please the Lord in all things (righteousness).
One of the signs that a person is filled with the Holy Ghost is joy in the Holy Ghost ( see Eph 5:18-20). The devil knows that if he can get you out of this joy for long, he would hinder you from walking in your spiritual strength because the joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh 8:10).
Go into today remembering that in the kingdom of God, our joy is in the Holy Ghost and not based on other things. The devil will try to steal this joy. Don’t let him succeed. Remember he cannot change the way the Holy Ghost feels about you (Romans 8:31-39).
